Cinderlands Beer Co. Douse: Rye
What the brewers say
“Blend of imperial stouts aged in rye casks.”
What our panel thought
“Devil’s food chocolate cake on the nose, with rye spiciness. Some cherry and liqueur-filled chocolate flavors with more rye spiciness and barrel tannins. A little on the bitter side. A bit hot and unbalanced.”
What our editors thought
“Layered nose with chocolate, a bit of amaro-like herbs, a faint sweet smokiness, and a bit of coffee-like roast. Grippy in the flavor as the initial sweet burst immediately resolves with a light tannic drying, highlighting smooth bitter malt below.”
